(Seoul = Newsis) Reporter Jeong Geum-min = The Democratic Party of Korea is waging public opinion, saying that the reissued arrest warrant for President Yoon Seok-yeol should be executed immediately. We also plan to participate in outdoor rallies on the weekend.
According to an opposition party official on the 10th, the Democratic Party plans to voluntarily participate in an off-site rally hosted by a civic group on the 11th.
One Democratic Party lawmaker said in a text message to local party members, “I cannot help but feel devastated when I see the official residence surrounded by barriers and barbed wire,” adding, “The arrest of Yoon Seok-yeol, the leader of the civil war, is the beginning of stabilizing state affairs and restoring people’s livelihood, so arrest Yoon Seok-yeol.” “Let’s show our aspirations in the square,” he said, encouraging participation in the rally.
In a phone call with Newsis, a Democratic Party member said, “Members of the National Assembly will voluntarily attend the rally this weekend (regarding the call for President Yoon’s impeachment),” adding, “Now that the arrest warrant has been reissued, this is to continue to urge that it be resolutely executed.” .
Accusation and impeachment cards are also being actively used. The Democratic Party reported Acting President Choi Sang-mok, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Strategy and Finance, to the police on charges of dereliction of duty on the grounds that he did not play a necessary role in executing the arrest warrant for President Yoon, and is also discussing the possibility of impeachment of Oh Dong-woon, the head of the Corruption Investigation Office.
The Democratic Party reissued the Insurrection Special Prosecutor Act on the 9th. The Insurrection Special Prosecutor Act, which was rejected and scrapped during the National Assembly’s re-vote on the 8th, included provisions for the opposition party to recommend a special prosecutor candidate. The re-introduced Special Prosecutor Act required a third party, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, to recommend it. The scope of the investigation was expanded to foreign exchange attraction, but it did not include the opposition party’s ‘veto’ authority to reject candidates or request re-recommendation.
The opposition party plans to pass the revised Insurrection Special Prosecutor Act at the National Assembly plenary session on the 14th or 16th.
Kim Yong-min, senior vice-president of the Democratic Party’s floor policy, met with reporters after submitting the Insurgency Special Prosecution Act on the 9th and said, “Most of the points that the government and the People Power Party spoke about when expressing opposition to the special prosecution bill have been resolved,” and added, “I hope that unnecessary political controversy will be minimized and the law will be passed quickly.” “I proposed this with a hopeful heart,” he said.
